Thanks everyone! This seems like a very positive, supportive group and I really look forward to getting to know everyone!

IMO, you made the right decision. I have a One, but stopped using it for awhile (just got out of the MFP/FitBit habit - bad idea, gained 12 lbs...). Anyway, DH got a Flex free with his new phone, so I decided to get back to it. I used the Flex for about a week and hated it. It didn't track right (e.g. grocery shopping. If…

I used to hate those comments, as well. I just changed the way I interpreted them. My fiance, for example, has said many times "are you allowed to eat that?" I could let it bother me but, instead, I realize that it's just his way of trying to understand what I'm doing and be supportive. I have noticed an anecdotal increase…

I would love to hear about these Chipotle sweet potatoes you speak of!

I'm curious about this advice...what is guacamole, aside from avocado, tomatoes, tomatoes, lime juice, cilantro, garlic, onions...just veggies...maybe some salt and pepper? Certainly the most calorific thing in guacamole is the avocado...

You could get a FitBit. I love mine!

"WIN!" for who? Him or you? :wink: In to read responses...contemplating and curious!

I love to heat up some black beans with sauteed onions and some salsa... Also, those Madras Lentil chili packs are awesome on sweet potatoes.

My daughter has faced similar "teasing" about her lunches. She usually just tells them that she likes to eat what's good for her body. Whenever she asks for any of the usual "kid friendly" stuff (lunchables, gogurt, etc.) I show her the ingredients list on the package and then show her the ingredients on what I would like…

Thanks everyone for your replies! I still haven't decided what I'm going to do - I really want to make sure I stick to C25K and see it through to the end but I feel I need to add some type of strength training in, as well. I'm such an "all or nothing" type thinker - it may drive me crazy to sprinkle in BR 3-4 days a week…

I'm a little older and a little heavier than you, but I'm 5'3" (if I round up :wink: ). I have my goal set to lose 1.5 lbs a week and MFP has my net calories at 1,200. If I exercise, I get the 1,200 calories + whatever exercise calories I have "earned" for the day. So far, it's been working for me. I eat my exercise…

I've had the One for a week and I'm hooked! I'm an accountant, so the data aspect just appeals to my slightly OCD personality. :blushing: I find myself getting up to move more at work, simply to make those steps tick up! I even use the rest room on the 1st floor (my office is on the 2nd) so that I can get my 10 floors a…

Could we add: Lose = "I am trying to lose weight and I'm hoping you can help", not to be confused with Loose = "I would really like my pants to be loose in a month" PLEASE!!!!!

Actually, they recommend logging your food AND exercise on MFP. That will sync with your Fitbit account. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/443853-welcome-to-the-fitbit-users-group-and-how-to-get-started

A quick glance at your food log makes it look like you're seriously undershooting your calories. You need to feed your body in order for it to work properly. As others have said, you need to hit your calorie goal for the day (with the exception of all the exercise calories, unless you feel you need them - hungry, etc.).…

Me too, KMcG718! I'm totally going to change my profile right now...I want to be a Trophy Wife. :)

You should be proud, that's awesome!!! I've got just about the same amount to lose and really appreciate the inspiration! I want to be a Trophy Wife, too :)
